Re: [bolger] Au revoir! (Or at least see you later.)
Matthew,
I'm sorry you're going to quit the group... or maybe not! I don't know if
you're going to read those lines, but I can say you that if you learn to
control the time you're connected, it's not so expensive.
I live in Spain, and the telephone is here more expensive than in France. My
syster and mother are living in Paris and in Annecy (not far from Lyon), so
I know a little the French prices.
I get my messages in the morning (2-4 minutes?), and post my answers usually
at night. I read messages and write the replies not being on-line. I only
get connected to get and send. And with a little advertising, you can have a
good free server... or you can pay something like five dollars per month and
avoid them.
For me, the only problem is finding the time to read so much information!!!
...but I hope to be able to keep on reading yours messages!!!
Francisco.
